France's Alexis Pinturault edged Norwegian arch-rival Henrik Kristoffersen to win the World Cup parallel slalom in Lech in Austria on Friday. Pinturault's 30th World Cup victory came by a margin of 0.11sec and saw him take the lead in the overall standings. "Thirty wins, that's starting to look a decent number and I'm proud of it, I hope I can keep it up," said Pinturault. This was only his second win in the discipline, his first coming in Moscow in 2012 for his debut World Cup success. Germany's Alexander Schmidt was third after seeing off Austrian Adrian Pertl. Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, overall champion last season, was eliminated in the round of 16 and eventually finished 14th. rg/lp/iwd
